HITB - Keeping Knowledge Free for Over a Decade

Some of you might remember the first HITB conference at Cititel Hotel,
Kuala Lumpur back in 2003. That year HD Moore spoke about Metasploit
back when it was just the Metasploit Framework. That very conference
also marked the last public appearance for LSD Group aka The Hackers Who
Broke Windows. Sounds like a decade ago? Well, you are right. Believe
it or not, it has been TEN YEARS since HITB CREW first conference and what a
ride it has been – ten great years, three continents, hundreds of
speakers, thousands of attendees and a lifetime of stories.

Other Conference Activities:HackWeekDay Following the success of HackWEEKDAY held for the first time last year at the HITB Security Conference in Kuala Lumpur,
HITB2012KUL will see the introduction of HackWEEKDAY – Hack-to-Hack

An all new 36 hour hackathon which will will run alongside our 10th year
anniversary conference kicking off on the evening of October 9th
(training day 2).

Registration is COMPLETELY FREE and we have space for 50 developers in
total comprising a mix of .edu and professional developers.

CommsecVillage
The HITB CommSec Village is our new Community and Security area
dedicated to highlighting various security related projects from the
open source community and from various hackerspaces. These communities
will have their own playground and demonstration area to show off their
projects and a chance to interact with the conference attendees.

Capture The Flag
To celebrate the 10th year anniversary of HITBSecConf, the CTF Overlords
and CTF Crews 1.0, 2.0 and the all-new 3.0 will be coming together to
work on a 32 HOUR NON STOP CAPTURE THE FLAG COMPETITION which we’re
calling CTF Weapons of Mass Destruction – Fallout Apocalypse!

In
our previous CTF Weapons of Mass Destruction, Teams had a set of daemons
/ services running on their machines and they had to exploit rival
teams’ daemons to steal their flags. Submit the flags to obtain
offensive points and also unlock nuclear weapons that can be launched
against rival teams. For defensive points, all the team had to do was to
keep their daemons up and running.
